Free Web NovelChapter 187: Teammates
After reading Mr. Zeng’s introductions and evaluations of these countries,
Long Chen had a clearer understanding of his opponents in the continental selection tournament, which allowed him to be better prepared in advance.
It seemed that the opponents in the continental selection tournament were not weak at all!
Especially the Sakura Country’s "Hell’s Demon Eye," which already had two five-star generals!
And these were the renowned Miyamoto Musashi and Hattori Hanzo!
Both of them were no ordinary individuals!!
Miyamoto Musashi was known as the Demon God Lü Bu of Sakura Country.
However, Long Chen was dismissive of this!
What a joke, a tiny country dares to compare itself to the celestial empire.
Long Chen’s confidence was not blind arrogance, unlike the blind arrogance of people in Qing Dynasty history.
It was based on solid grounds.
The martial prowess attribute of the Demon God Lü Bu was likely ranked first among the world’s five-star generals!
This was according to Lin Yuntian, the "Deadly Swordsman" with the Heavenly Eye, who ranked ninth on the Huaxia Assassin List.
This meant he had traveled to multiple countries, killing top experts.
Naturally, he had also seen many formidable generals’ attribute panels.
Among them, Lü Bu’s martial prowess was unrivaled.
Of course, what Lin Yuntian saw was only a part, not the whole picture.
But Long Chen had enough confidence in Huaxia!!!
Moreover, having two five-star subordinates was already impressive for Hell’s Demon Eye!
Long Chen, on the other hand, had three five-star generals and two five-star strategists, not to mention other five-star songstresses...
Thinking of this, Long Chen couldn’t help but chuckle. He hadn’t expected his luck with women to be so good.
Including Empress He, he had three five-star songstresses, three terrifying support roles.
Their impact was no less than three five-star generals!
Diao Chan could influence the enemy’s morale, causing confusion.
Da Qiao could heal, quickly restoring his soldiers’ condition.
And Empress He was formidable too, continuously draining the enemy soldiers’ health, causing poisoning and other adverse effects.
In short, using these three five-star songstresses well could yield far more significant results than generals.
After all, in siege and defense battles, the overall strength of the soldiers was crucial.
Thinking of this, Long Chen’s eyes softened.
These beautiful... adorable women were all his...
Right, let’s see who my teammates are in the continental selection tournament!
Long Chen opened the official website’s rankings for each country.
He browsed the top five in Huaxia.
First: [Sword Listening to the Wind] (Yangzhou)
Second: [Zhang Wuji] (Jingzhou)
Third: [Tán Rán] (Jingzhou)
Fourth: [Royal Dynasty Shang Zhou King] (Jizhou)
Fifth: [Emperor Sword] (Qingzhou)
...
Wow!
Besides himself, the other four were leaders of major alliances in Huaxia.
They likely had significant backgrounds!
Long Chen was familiar with Zhang Wuji, the guy who might have killed Zhang Bao or Zhang Liang during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and obtained one of the three Tai Ping Books.
His strength shouldn’t be weak. It was rumored that the "Ming Cult" alliance he founded was thriving in Jingzhou’s Lingling County.
The alliance had over five hundred thousand members, a vast number. frёeωebɳovel.com
Tán Rán was the sword immortal who ranked second on the enemy-killing list during the campaign against Dong Zhuo, right?
He was called a sword immortal because of his ruthless swordsmanship, which amazed everyone who saw it.
Hence the respectful title of sword immortal...
Long Chen wondered about his actual strength.
As for Shang Zhou King, there was no need to say much. An old enemy.
But this time it was a national war, so Long Chen didn’t want to dwell on past grievances.
Emperor Sword was the leader of Qingzhou’s top alliance, "One Sword Returns to the Source."
...
After reviewing this information, Long Chen had a mental preparation.
He hoped his teammates wouldn’t be too unreliable!
It would be best to communicate more then, to coordinate and form a solid team.
After all, they were representing Huaxia in the competition.
Long Chen had to temporarily set aside past grievances, focus on external threats, and strive for glory for Huaxia.
While thinking about these matters, Long Chen suddenly noticed several messages appearing in his mind.
These messages were transmitted by the chip supporting "Great Lord," even though the game world had temporarily stopped.
The messaging function still worked, making the chip a convenient communication tool.
Curious about who was contacting him, Long Chen opened the messages.
Most of them were words of support and encouragement from Huaxia players.
"Yi Jian Ting Feng yyds!!!"
"Brother Feng, I’m your fan! Seeing you about to participate in the continental selection tournament today... Good luck~~"
"Brother Feng, this is the 101st day I’ve been thinking about you. Brother Feng~ I love you so much! I’ve been silently following you in Jiujiang County. You’re the best~~"
"Good luck in the continental selection tournament~ I can’t sleep at night just thinking about watching your livestream~~"
Seeing these messages, Long Chen’s lips curled into a slight smile. At that moment, he suddenly felt a weight in his heart.
Although he had always looked forward to and valued this Supreme Tournament, he had never taken it this seriously before.
Seeing people he might not even know silently supporting him and expecting his performance,
Long Chen felt that he would have to give his all...
Perhaps, this was his motivation!
Suddenly, amidst the mass of white messages, he noticed a few blue ones.
The senders were labeled as [Zhang Wuji] and [Tan Ran]...
His teammates for the continental selection tournament. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Brother Feng, I’m Emperor Sword. During this update, how about we gather and discuss the tournament?"
"Hello, I’m Tan Ran..."
Hmm, Tan Ran seemed quite aloof, a bit cool!
Other messages conveyed a similar intention to gather and discuss the tournament.
Long Chen closed his eyes slightly and rubbed his temples with both hands.
After a moment of contemplation, he replied to each message with a few simple words.
"Create a group, let’s chat there. If we need to meet, let’s meet in the game."
Long Chen had his reasons for saying this.
In real life, he currently had no significant power. If he were targeted by malicious forces with ill intentions, it could be disastrous.
...
Three days passed in a flash.
Long Chen couldn’t wait to immerse his consciousness into the chip.
In an instant, he activated and logged in!
When he opened his eyes again, he was still astride the Ice Dragon King.
To his right was Guo Jia’s carriage.
Seeing this familiar world, Long Chen’s eyes lit up with vitality!
Sometimes, Long Chen felt more like a native NPC here than other players, more adaptable and in love with this land.
Eagerly, he opened the system panel and found a new icon.
It was the newly appeared [Ancient Relic].
